ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between the level of thoracic complete spinal cord injury(SCI) and ambulatory function wearing Reciprocating Gait Orthosis(RGO) through three dimentional gait analysis, and to explore the quantitative indicators of reconstructing walking capacity of thoracic complete SCI patients.Methods10 patients with thoracic complete spinal cord injury of lesion level from T4 to T12 who had experienced RGO gait training for at least 3 months. Three dimentional gait analysis system of Vicon Nexus 1.2 was used to test and examine the gait speed, cadence, stride length, pelvic angle of rotation, hip range of motion(ROM), crutch force, angular velocity of hip flexion and extension phases, etc. Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient and Spearman rank correlation coefficient were used to examine the relationship between the level of spinal cord injury and the kinematic and kinetic values.ResultsThe mean cadence and stride length were (37.4±2.15) steps/min and (91.6±9.09) cm. The mean hip ROM, angular velocity of hip flexion and extension phases were (42.57 °±5.43 °), (20.88 °±2.18 °)/s and (124.75 °±9.31 °)/s respectively. The gait speed, stride length, peak crutch force, hip ROM, mean crutch force and angular velocity of hip extension phase all had significant pertinence with the level of spinal cord injury.ConclusionThe limitation of hip ROM and excessive load of upper limbs mainly result in ambulatory disorder in higher thoracic complete SCI patients who should be undertaken some rehabilitation training to reduce excessive physiological load in order to improve their ambulatory capacity.

Objective To evaluate regional right ventricular function by ultrasonic strain rate imaging in postoperative children with conotruncal defects(CTD). Methods All 27 postoperative CTD children had magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of right ventricular end-diastolic volume and end-systolic volume to calculate right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF). The ultrasonic parameters of peak systolic strain rate (SRs), peak early diastolic strain rate (SRe), peak late diastolic strain rate(SRa) and strain (S) were obtained at the basal,middle and apical segment in curve of right ventricular anterior wall in 27 postoperative CTD children and 27 normal children. The correlation between SRs,S and RVEF were evaluated. Results Compared with healthy children,SRs,S,SRe,SRa were significantly reduced in postoperative CTD children (P ＜ 0.01 ), there were different distribution rules between postoperative CTD children and normal children,and all indexes had no statistical descrepancy among the basal, middle and apical segment ( P ＞0.05). SRs in basal segment of the right ventricular anterior wall correlated well with RVEF ( r = 0.89,P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions Regional right ventricular function still was reduced in postoperative CTD children, and could be accurately evaluated by ultrasonic strain rate imaging.

Objective To explore effect of pre-programmed guidance of functional exercise on exercise compliance and accuracy of patients after lumbar surgery.Methods From January to March 2016, 60 patients who had undergone the surgery of lumbar spine internal fixation were selected as the research object. All patients were divided into intervention group and control group randomly, 30 patients in each group. Patients in the control group underwent routine postoperative functional exercises. Patients in the intervention group received preoperative functional exercise instruction before 2 days. According to the self-designed questionnaire, we evaluated the compliance and accuracy of functional exercises of the two groups by asking, checking and demonstrating.Results At first day after operation, the proficiency on ankle pump exercises and straight-leg-raising movement showed no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05); However, on supine siding leg movement to right-left, compared with the control group, the intervention group were significantly better (Z=-5.100,P<0.001). At first day after removing wound drains, the proficiency on ankle pump exercises and raising buttock with five positions showed no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05), but on straight-leg-raising movement (Z=-2.316,P=0.021) , supine siding leg movement to right-left (Z= -4.238,P<0.001), lateral siding leg movement to front-back (Z=-3.027,P=0.002) and lateral straight-leg-raising movement (Z=-3.027,P=0.002), the intervention group was significantly better than the control group. Moreover, as far as adherence of exercise, patients in the intervention group were obvious better (Z= -2.156,P=0.031).Conclusions The pre-programmed guidance of functional exercise can improve the patient's awareness and confidence of functional exercise on rehabilitation, reduce the patients' psychological anxiety, so as to improve the compliance and the correct rate of functional exercise, promote their recovery. It also can save time for propaganda, improve work efficiency.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of sustained lung inflation (SLI) combined with pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial included 124 premature infants (gestational age <34 weeks and birth weight <2 000 g) diagnosed with NRDS and in need of PS treatment in Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital affiliated to Southern Medical University from July 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018. They were randomly divided into experimental or control group, with 62 cases in each. Infants in the experimental group were treated with SLI using T-piece and intratracheal PS, while those in the control group were given PS only. Blood gas analysis and measurement of fraction of inspiration O₂ (FiO₂) and ratio of partial pressure of oxygen (PO₂) over FiO₂ were performed before and 1 h after PS injection. Results of the treatments and incidence of complications were compared. Paired samples t-test, two independent samples t-test, rank-sum test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: There were 56 participants in the experimental group and 54 in the control group who were eventually analyzed. In the experimental group, the pH value, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO₂), FiO₂ and PO₂/FiO₂ at 1 h after PS injection were all improved compared with those before treatment [pH value: 7.26±0.09 vs 7.19±0.09, t=3.814; PCO₂: (51.5±12.6) vs (59.8±16.3) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), t=2.610; FiO₂: 26.0 (21.0-31.5)% vs 40.5 (38.5-51.5)%, U=392.000; PO₂/FiO₂: (284.6±117.9) vs (173.4±59.7) mmHg, t=6.427; all P<0.05]. The overall decrement of FiO₂ after PS injection in the experimental group was more significant than that in the control group [-10.0 (-15.0 to -5.0)% vs -5.0 (-8.0 to 0.0)%, U=706.500, P<0.001]. The experimental group had a higher rate of extubation within 24 h than the control group [80% (45/56) vs 71% (32/54), χ²=5.830, P=0.016]. However, no significant differences were shown in total mechanical ventilation time, non-invasive/high-flow nasal cannula ventilation time, the ratio of re-intubation within 72 h, or the incidence of air leak, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis or patent ductus arteriosus between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions SLI combined with PS for NRDS babies can increase the rate of extubation within 24 h and promote the down-regulation of FiO₂ without causing significant complications.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction and assessment system for incisional infection after spinal surgery.Methods:Based on the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), risk factors and assessment indicators of postoperative incisional infection in spinal surgery were sorted out through literature search followed by expert consultation using the Delphi expert consultation method. After three-level assessment indicators were selected according to their importance and expert opinions and assigned by different scores, a risk prediction and evaluation system was constructed for postoperative incisional infection after spinal surgery.Results:The 2 rounds of expert consultation questionnaire resulted in an effective response rate of 100%. The degree of expert consultation authority was 0.85, showing high reliability; the Kendall coordination coefficients of expert consultation ranged from 0.525 to 0.686, showing good coordination ( P<0.05). The three-level assessment indicators consisted of 3 primary, 18 secondary and 54 tertiary ones. After statistical analyses of the important risk indicators selected which consisted of 6 preoperative evaluation ones and 18 postoperative evaluation ones, 6 preoperative and 12 postoperative predictive indicators were obtained. The values of risk priority number (RPN) were calculated for high, medium and low risks for postoperative incisional infection using a semi-quantitative method. Conclusion:A self-designed system has been constructed for risk prediction and assessment of incisional infection after spinal surgery based on expert consultation and FMEA method.
